Do YOU like gamification?

Like all learning tools, it can certainly have its place and be very engaging but there is too much of a trend to use it for the sake of using it, sometimes to the detriment of learner experience (they fail to see the relevance and feel like it’s wasting their time). It also needs to suit the audience and content so this should be a key consideration before deciding on how instruction will be designed.
